What's that mean to you?
Well if you have already registered, it means that you're relaxed, looking forward to seeing your friends and learning all about the best techniques and secrets about searching for ancestors. We hope you've taken the time to review the schedule and planned out the first-choice and second-choice sessions, just in case.
You've checked out the various meals and bought your tickets. You've RSVPd for the Saturday evening New Year's Eve Party; remember that SCGS members and Jamboree volunteers are invited as guests. You just need to register in advance.
But...
If you've waited until the deadline, beware. It's almost here. The last day for advance registration is Saturday, May 24.
And if you wait until May 25th:
- You will miss the meals and banquets, including the amazing John Philip Colletta's presentation on Friday night. I've heard from friends who saw the presentation last year at FGS that it was "a scream" and "hilarious."
- The Family History and DNA luncheon features a panel discussion with representatives from the large testing companies (Bennett Greenspan from Family Tree DNA, Joanna Mountain PhD from 23andme, and Jake Byrnes PhD from AncestryDNA), as well as Genetic Genealogy Consultant Diahan Southard and moderator Blaine Bettinger PhD, JD.
- You'll lose the chance to order the 2014 printed syllabus. You might be able to purchase one at Jamboree, but if it's really important that you have one, you should order in advance. We plan to order just a limited quantity available for sale at the conference.
- You'll have to stand in line to pay when you register. It won't be a smooth process of just going to the table and picking up your registration materials.
- And... you'll pay more.
You don't want to miss out and you don't want to pay more.
So register. Today.

How do you sign up for the "olde handwriting' course? The schedule says it costs to attend ($) but I don't see anywhere in the registration where one can sign up, or pay for it.
Unfortunately, both the handwriting workshops (olde English and German Gothic) have been closed for some time. The workshops held only 20 attendees.
